No Security Council 'consensus' on Palestinian UN membership

CGTN

Members of the UN Security Council failed to reach a consensus Thursday on a longshot bid by Palestinians for full UN membership, according to the body's chair.

"There was no consensus" during a closed-door meeting, said Maltese Ambassador Vanessa Frazier, who holds the council's rotating presidency for April. "However, the majority were very clearly in favor to move on with membership."
